Which artist created a series of paintings depicting the events of the French Revolution?

  1. Jack Yeats

  2. Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres

  3. Eugene Delacroix

  4. Caspar David Friedrich

The correct answer is: Eugene Delacroix

Eugene Delacroix is the correct answer because he is well-known for his painting series called "Liberty Leading the People" which depicted the events of the French Revolution. This series is considered a masterpiece of French Romanticism and a powerful political statement. Option A, Jack Yeats, is an Irish artist who was known for his works depicting Irish life and landscapes. Option B, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, is a French painter who focused on portraits and classical subject matter, making it unlikely that he would have painted the French Revolution. Option D, Caspar David Friedrich, was a German Romantic painter who is known for his landscapes and allegorical works, making it unlikely that he would have created a series about the French Revolution.
